- Geely Galaxy Battleship 700 debuted in Milan last week as the brand's flagship SUV, offered as a PHEV that pairs a range-extending ICE with three electric motors producing a combined 830 kW (~1,113 hp) and 1,692 Nm (~1,250 lb-ft) of torque.
- The Galaxy 700's calculated power-to-weight ratio of 392 hp/tonne (~5.6 lbs/hp) would place its straight-line performance between a Ferrari 458 Italia and a McLaren 570S, according to the source.
- Geely claims the SUV passes Europe's moose test at 50 mph (80 km/h) using its proprietary GVMC semi-active suspension and an AI traction-control system that switches between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive on the fly.
- Featured capabilities include automatic obstacle avoidance, 360-degree tank turns, a crab walk mode, and the ability to keep driving after a tire blowout by balancing on three wheels.
- The interior offers 50 accessory installation points for owner customization and ships standard across all trims with a 41.7 kWh CATL LFP battery pack delivering 165–185 km (~100–115 miles) of electric range.
- Geely Galaxy brand sales rose ~20% year-on-year and 32% from May, snapping five straight months of YoY declines, with 519,793 vehicles sold in H1 2026 — down about 5% versus H1 2025.
Why it matters: By cramming 1,113 hp — performance benchmarked against a Ferrari 458 and McLaren 570S — into a Range Rover-shaped SUV, Geely is using the Galaxy Battleship 700 to reposition its flagship brand upward, and a 20% YoY sales rebound in H1 2026 (519,793 units) signals Chinese buyers are buying into the supercar-SUV pitch.
